I dont see why Ham Radio does not qualify as
a public service announcement and should be
carried FREE by radio stations anyway.  Bob

Hi Dick,
 
WMAL has been airing a commercial for the Michael Graham talk show that

I feel is condescending toward ham radio.  They say that listening to 
him is "better than sitting in your basement and listening to ham 
radio".  I heard it yesterday at 12:30 PM, and again this morning at 
8:38 AM.  I sent him an e-mail about this to mail at michaelgraham.com.  I

also sent a copy to newsmedia at arrl.org.  How about an e-mail campaign 
to Mr. Graham from our chapter members?  Maybe that will give him 
second thoughts.  I am being positive with him, pointing out the many 
things we do on a volunteer basis at no cost to the taxpayer.
